Hi, I went to a gun show recently, I saw a springfield!? sxs for $180 could I get more info, it was a 28inch barrel. What years were they made in? I really wanted to buy it but had no info on it. What stopped me from buying it was the insane long barrels, I was hoping to find a sxs at the gun show in 18~22inch bbl.
 
28 in. is average field barrel and nearly the minimum on a clay sports gun.

I am a lover of the 20-24 for field carry but realize I give up a little "pointability" for easier toting and brush busting.

Well was it a good deal for $180? I really wanted it, I could have it cut down to 20 or so but no idea the cost...
 
If it is a 'Springfield', I am assuming it is the 'Springfield 511' made by Savage...

Did it look like this?:

Not pretty, but great rugged gun...Extractors only, and a bugger to remove the barrels, but will eat anything I throw at it...

Stock is Birch I think...Once I scraped the worthless coating that the factory put on, I hand rubbed lots of coats of Boiled Linseed on mine, and it looks much better...

Barrels were mostly 28", Mod/Full...

In good shape, $180 is a steal...
 
Any American made SXS that is made with "fluid steel" (not damascus) that can safely fire the round for which they are chambered for is worth $200...:D

I was thrilled to get a "shooter" grade plastic stocked 5100 Savage with 20 inch 20 gauge barrels for a hundred bucks...
